Supplier Engagement
We operate a comprehensive supplier engagement program focused on our strategic and preferred direct materials suppliers and with other suppliers with the highest greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials. Through our engagements, we aim to achieve our supply chain-related goals of (1) driving human rights and environmental transparency and compliance, and (2) increasing transparency and achieving reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2025, we engaged with more than 400 direct material suppliers based on strategic relevance, human rights and environmental risks, and their contribution to Scope 3 emissions. These suppliers represented approximately 50 percent of our global direct spend.

Another key feature of our supplier engagement is the annual Supplier Days held in Europe, China, and North America. In 2025, concurrent Supplier Days across all three regions attracted more than 270 attendees, representing more than 150 suppliers.
Supplier audits are an additional tool that we use to confirm supplier performance across a broad range of topics, including ESG. In 2025, 86 percent of our suppliers that meet our spend and risk thresholds were audited or have documented processes to mitigate identified risks. No significant corrective actions were required.
We increasingly use Sedex tools and services to work with our suppliers to ensure they uphold safe, ethical, and sustainable business practices, helping us protect the working conditions of the people in our supply chain. In 2025, we used Sedex tools to complete a sustainability risk assessment of almost 2,200 direct materials suppliers. These include strategic and preferred suppliers, as well as suppliers primarily contributing to our Scope 3 emissions.
